Claims to estate of Senator denied at Montana trial
A district court jury in Butte Montana ruled that three women claiming to be daughters of late copper magnate Senator William Andrews Mark did not inherit from his 47 million dollar estate. The defense said the heirs were children of a different man, William Anderson Clark, and the court found the five children named in the will were from Senator Clark’s two marriages. The verdict followed testimony from witnesses nationwide and an appeal was announced by chief defense counsel Edward Hyde.
